India's market regulator said it has uncovered an alleged front-running scheme involving Ketan Parekh—convicted in 2008 for stock market manipulation—and others. The regulator impounded unlawful gains worth ₹65.77 crore from those involved and debarred Parekh from dealing in the securities market till further investigation is completed.
